It's 5 o'clock
driving down Park Lane
and London leaves
for the weekend again
through the dark city streets
in the clinging rain
I take my car
towards the Thames
and Waterloo.....

Randez Vous 6:02

Was that a face I saw?
No, just a trick of light
It's getting clearer now
but moving out of sight
It's cold and late
and I can't miss that train
I turn around
walk through the arch
of Waterloo.

I saw the same hooded face

He beckoned me from the gate
"Did you not know, my friend?
Ten years ago was the end
After the war
Waterloo was no more,
But your ticket states
There is one train
It's leaving now
And there is a place.

Are you one of mine
who can sleep with one eye open wide?
Agonizing psychotic
solitary hours to decide
Reaching for the light
at the slightest noise from the floor
Now your hands perspire
heart goes leaping at a knock from the door.

In the Dead of Night
In the Dead of Night
Rich and powerful ascend
complicated bends to be free
indulge in what they will
and jaded thrill or fantasy
Shuttered windows that belie
all stifled cries from within
And prying eyes are blind
to proceedings of the kind that begin
In the Dead of Night
In the Dead of Night.

Creamed-up kitten screaming for her next injection
Dead dog in the driveway - protein intection
The most exclusive restaurants
have a few uninvited divers
Don't worry if you're under age
- they've special schemes for minors

Caesar's Palace blues

You lost your shirt on your last hand,
you nearly sold your shoes
You came up tumps last weekend so
you've got to pay your dues
Cards fall, faces change,
Cat's cunning shows
Same rules still apply, either way you lose

Caesar's Palace blues

Lovers on the carpet,
Cupid's dream for certain
But there's always someone hiding
right behind the hotel curtain
They've cameras in the casino
and bugs under your bed
But all the gold in Reno
couldn't bring old Caesar back from dead.
